I feel almost immoral for asking a question about hooking twice; but NFHS Points of Emphasis for 2003 includes the following:
"Hooking" by the offensive players should be presumed a definite advantage. This is not a judgment call or tactic worthy of a warning. It is a foul and should be called without hesitation."
I have not been officiating long and therefore I may be missing it, but I see no reference to "hooking" in the rules book. And, I see no NFHS signal to indicate "hooking".
I assume "hooking" is a move by the offensive player with the ball, in which he or she pivots by a defensive player in such a way as to effectively hold the defensive player.
